Biography

My name is Stan Palisoc and I am a game programmer graduate from LaSalle College Vancouver. Originally game programming wasn’t my first career choice. Before attending the program, I was striving to become a computer engineering technologist at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT). Even though I quite enjoyed the programming aspects within that program, I soon realized that dealing with hardware circuitry was not for me. I started exploring other options for my career. I love playing video games and was always interested on how to develop my own. So, I did my research and found LaSalle, a school known for their video game development. As such I moved to Vancouver not only to pursue my dream and passion for creating and developing video games, but to also become more independent as a person. During my time at LaSalle I learned various programming concepts targeted towards game development. I remember one of my favorite courses being Programming for Game Engines. Within that course we learned how to use Unity game engine and utilize different design patterns and techniques to develop various types of games. Overall, I feel like my decision to switch career fields was the right choice and I am excited to start my journey within the game industry.
